github.comvsworkos.com

Github edges out Workos modestly on homepage messaging, 83 to 75. Here's where the gap comes from.

Github is clearer about what it does (100 vs 66 on clarity). Github's hero ("Search code, repositories, users, issues, pull requests...") names something concrete, while Workos's ("Your app,‍Enterprise Ready.") stays abstract. Workos has stronger CTAs (75 vs 60). Github triggers decision paralysis with 10 competing CTAs, while Workos keeps it focused at 7.

Github uses a "Community / Movement" positioning while Workos goes with "Trust / Authority" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
